Pardes Faculty Traveling

Talmud Teacher

Jewish Community High School of the Bay, a pluralistic, college-preparatory
independent school providing an outstanding educational experience to boys and
girls in grades 9-12, seeks a dynamic faculty member to teach advanced Talmud
and Jewish Studies and to develop programs with the Student Life team starting
July or August 2011. The particular mix of teaching and programming will depend
on the candidate’s specific strengths and skills. Enthusiasm for teaching high school
students about Judaism in a pluralistic environment and helping them develop
Jewish identity -- both within and beyond the classroom – is essential. A
strong academic background is expected, as is experience working with high
school students. A candidate with smicha is preferred.

A full-time position at JCHS includes teaching four sections (or equivalent
programmatic engagement), leading/facilitating daily-morning Mechitza Minyan
(one of several minyanim at JCHS), meeting with students outside of class for
extra help, acting as an advisor to students, participating in all-school
gatherings and events, and involvement with the extracurricular life of the
school. JCHS is open to structuring a part-time position, provided the
candidate can be on campus approximately 75% of the school week. Athletic
coaching is not required or expected.

Employment decisions are made on the basis of an individual's skills and
qualifications and will not exclude a candidate from consideration on the basis
of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual
orientation, or marital status.

Interested candidates should email a cover letter, resume, and names of three
references to Jeremy Cole: jcole@jchsofthebay.org.
No calls please.
